snow...

In most parts of the country people are breaking out their summer gear, getting ready to plant flowers and gardens, and doing all those other things that people do to welcome Spring. Here are the highlights from the last three days here in good 'ol Bismarck

 Emily was excited to go out and shovel until she was bombarded with a never ending tornado of snow, wind and more snow swirling around her little face from every direction. She stayed out long enough for me to snap this picture and then high tailed it back into safety.

 Kyle on the other hand stayed outside until he was practically a human snow pop!

 Grayson's first time bundled up to face the elements started of well,

 until he tipped over and all and discovered that the marshmallow puffiness that is necessary to keep him warm made moving practically impossible, resulting in.....

 unhappy baby, rolling from side to stomach. There were tears. And screams. Believe you me.

 Not quite sure what to make of this cold, white stuff.

 Of course 17" of snow means only one thing....snow fort!

 And photo ops

 Can you tell who actually enjoys being outside?

I attempted to go to work this morning. Attempted being the key word. Other key words to summarize my failure attempt include blinding white snow, no wheel tracks, shovels, tow rope, annoyed friendly neighbor......enough said.

Happy Spring ND!
